but after learning that 'patch -i' is the same as 'patch <' I always just tried `cpio -iv PIC` which didn't worked .
I want grub to go because the 'extlinux.conf' entries seems not to be overwriteable. Mine extlinux.conf on USB Flash looks like

Hey, c'mon mikeb, there are at least half a dozen of us that i can think of, offhand, probably heaps more though...and i can only imagine what you and our resident reprobate, Aitch, might've asked Santa for this past Christmas

The graphix menu worked like a charm on a full install, but since trying many puppies and settling on a mijnpup Frugal install I was temporarily baffled with combining gfxmenu to Grub4Dos and the alternative complexity of Grub2 booting a Frugal install..

Thanks to CatDude for all his hard word on this gfxmenu project and the hint from mikeb i got the deal under control and found that Grub2 was totally unnecessary

A Frugal Puppy Install (mijnpup in this case)
Run the latest Grub4Dos
placed the message.pup16 gfxmenu to the same location as the grub menu and loader eg /home
then edited the menu, adding the Global comments and the gfxmenu line eg.

@ Mike
Thank you for your answer via mp.
I tested package (grub-gfxboot-ext4-and-inode256-compatible.tar.gz), it is fully compatible with Puppy Precise.
This is great!
So again, gfxmenu will be used by many French puplets.

When using the old version of the package, I asked myself a few questions. Today, I would place them on the forum.
1 - Is it possible to locate the help file (en.hlp)? It would be practical with the new multilingual Puppy.
2 - What is the function of "languages" ​​file?
3 - What is the function of "en.tr" ​​file?

I have other issues with my current tests.
4 - Obviously, I tried to edit the "pupsta1" file. I started by back.jpg file, normally it's simple, but I have a problem. I created an image (jpg 800x600) to replace the one included in cool-cat_no-penguins_800x600.gz.
But it does not work and Grub offers me a black screen (see, screenshots).
Why is the picture is not compatible??

4. Check background=back.jpg in the gfxboot.cfg name matches your jpg. I cannot see any other problem with the image you have used.

1. locate.... as in have a french version? The basic idea seems to be the languages file specifies which xx.lng file to use. Perhaps there is a way to select a language...
2...see above
3 don't know though related to language too.

On a general note the graphical menu will also work with standard grub 1 and when used with such the editing of the kernel parameters works as intended.

4. Check background=back.jpg in the gfxboot.cfg name matches your jpg. I cannot see any other problem with the image you have used.

Hello mike.

4 - background=back.jpg in the gfxboot.cfg => it seems to be ok

Code:

; Sections are read in the order given in base::layout, with section 'base'
; implicitly added at the end. If a config value is given more than once,
; the first entry wins.
;
; If a screen resolution can't be set, 640x480 is used as fallback (and
; section '640x480' added to the layout list).
;
; If the penguin screen is active, section 'penguin' is automatically added
; to the layout list.
;
; Setting livecd=1 implicitly adds section 'live' to the layout list.
;
; Color values: 24 bit RGB (e.g. 0xff0000 = red).
;

1. locate.... as in have a french version? The basic idea seems to be the languages file specifies which xx.lng file to use. Perhaps there is a way to select a language...

I have a french version avaible, but I only use Puppy. So I do not know if other distribution (suze?) propose the Grub boot multilingual.
If this is possible, we must try to use it, it will be easy to find translations.
